Soft- and hardware platform for spectral analysis systems based on tunable semiconductor lasers

Abstract

Abstract A soft- and hardware platform is described for supporting the operation of spectral analysis devices and systems based on tunable semiconductor lasers. The wide spectral range covered by lasers of this type and the versatility of methods for controlling their spectral parameters make it possible to solve various problems within the framework of a single instrumental approach. This includes the most complex tasks of spectral analysis of multicomponent gas mixtures including atmospheric and exhaled air. Main areas of the platform application include IR molecular spectroscopy, chemical technologies, atmospheric pollution control, diagnostics of low-temperature plasma components, biomedical diagnostics.
